Low Priora 8C/+ FA by Vadim Timonov

Vadim Timonov, who did four 8C's during a four weeks trip to Ticino last Christmas, has done the FA of Low Priora 8C/+ in Djan-tugan. "Powerful moves, hard work with underclings. 17 moves in total in 65 degrees overhang."

It starts right in the hole in the bottom of the pictures and tops out in Priora 7B, shown in the picture. The Russian also opened Focus failed 8C that tops around the corner to the left. Last year, Vadim got the bronze in the Euro Championship and next up for him is the Moscow Euro Championship.

So how is this new boulder spot and where is it located?
In 2017, it was a big mudflow and a large area with stones appeared. Really good world-class area. A lot of stones around but we haven't seen much yet. Need more time for exploring. We are thinking about boulder festival for next year. It is located 20 hours south of Moscow by car or 3 hours by plane.
